Grilling Tips for Your Summer BBQ

When is the next time you're hosting a BBQ? In honor of National Grilling Month (July), it's the perfect time to host your next get together! From deck safety to cleaning your grill, there are a number of ways you can prepare for your next event. One of the many perks of homeownership at the Lake of the Ozarks is the opportunity to have friends and family over for a summer BBQ. To provide a great entertaining space and a safe place to gather, check out the tips provided by your trusted real estate agent in Lake Ozark, MO to get prepared!


Ensure your Grill is Cleaned

Before cooking for your guests, it's important to clean your grill. While a wire grill brush is a common tool to use to scrape off old debris, the wires can actually fall off onto the grill surface. It can potentially get into your food at this point. Consider a different cleaning method if you plan to clean it off right before cooking for your guests. A clean grill surface can help promote a more even heat distribution, as well.

Prep the Kitchen

While you think of being outside and cooking during your next BBQ, many of the preparation for your goodies will take place in your kitchen. Ensure your kitchen prep space is clean and ready for all of the food that is about to be made. While most of the food will be cooked outside on the grill, it will often be prepared in the kitchen.

Check Food Temperature

When grilling food it's important to measure the temperature to ensure it is at a safe level to eat. A meat thermometer is a handy tool to have around, when grilling for your guests. While many people like red meats a little on the pink side, chicken needs to be completely cooked all the way through, for safe consumption.

Plan for a Variety of Options

While you may love a certain dish when grilling, it's a good ideal to have a wide variety of options for your guests to choose from. Whether you want a variety of side dishes or a few different main course options to choose from, it's best to appeal to a wide range of appetites, when preparing for your next gathering.

HAVE FUN!

The point of a get together is to gather with friends and family and have FUN! Enjoy yourself and your company, during your next BBQ. While it's important to keep your guests entertained and provide delicious eats for them, try to get involved in the conversation instead of focusing solely on the meal prep, grilling, and clean up.

Now that you've seen some of these tips to help you prepare for your next BBQ, it's time to put them to the test. If you don't feel like you have the ideal place to entertain your summer guests, it may be time to look around to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks.
